I attended the second module of my ILM5 training last week, which covered budgetary planning and control. This is an area of work where I don\u2019t have a great deal of experience, but one which I feel I\u2019ll need a decent grounding in if I\u2019m going to move any further in my organisation. The content was about as dry as I expected, and I think I\u2019m going to have to do a lot more reading and research before I submit my assignment next month. I\u2019ve devoted the whole day to ILM work today, and as well as this reflection I\u2019ve created documents for each assignment (with headings and sections derived from the question structure) and have also had a first stab at writing the first half of the assignment related to last week\u2019s workshop. I\u2019m not completely happy with what I\u2019ve written, but I think it\u2019s a good enough start that will probably just need editing down and re-ordering during my second pass at the assignment which I need to schedule in for some point next week.<\/p>\n
Since I wrote my last reflection (on innovation and change) my team have moved into a different part of the organisation, and I\u2019ve already started working on the program of change that will most likely form part of my assignment. I felt that the changes were easier to deal with because of having the underpinning knowledge, and that I was leading change from a position of strength. I\u2019m hopeful that next time I look at a budget I\u2019ll draw some of the same confidence from my studies, but I think I just have to accept that this is the area of the program that is furthest from my comfort zone, and that it will likely take longer to integrate into my normal working practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
